At Mach 2, Business Executive’s Jet,
Continental Flight Across the South
Pole
Jet flying at 460 knots< Mach, route most over the continental South America and the Antarctic
Pole to reach Australia distances and flight time.
The same route flying at Mach 2 shows some advantages over traditional Pacific Ocean route
mostly over the ocean . Considered risk factor, weather, wind and diversionary airports.
It reveals metric used and basic recommendations

Executive Summary
• Flying at Mach 2, the business jet will still be the business executive’s
preferred/primary means of travel by 2020.
• Following routes along recognized major International Airports used
modern facilities for passengers plane/deplane, cargo, refueling,
communications, and services for eventual diverted flights.
Flight management system enables smooth business jet flight in 40 mph
cross winds.
• 2 Pilots remain the least expensive aspect of business jet operations.
• Enhance the allure of business jet capability and flight safety
• Alternate Airports, Available SAR

Background Information
Mach number is a dimensionless quantity representing the speed of an object moving through air or other fluid divided by
the local speed of sound. M=V/a where M=Mach number V=velocity and a=sound velocity
M varies by the composition medium and also by local conditions, especially temperature and pressure (altitude dependent)
Mile=1609.3 m
NM= 1852 m Kts= NM/hr
NM/Mile=1852/1609.3=1.15
The speed of sound depends on the properties of the medium through which it travels. In dry air at 59°F (15°C) at the sea level
it is equal to 1 M = 1225km/h = 761mph= 573kts
.9M = 955.5km/h= 594 mph=515.7kts

• Presently some business jets fly faster, and many fly higher, than airliners at Subsonic speed (ie A340-300 494 Kts)
• By 2020 business jets and airliners will have similar flying Mach Speed close to M2 or higher
• Business Executive’s Jets selected conservatively max range about 2 trip leg length.
• Fastest executive jets speeds available from .90 to .985 shown under “Subsonic Jets near M1” slide

Goals Normative Scenarios
• Booming business opportunities as we are entering in a Global economy.
• Companies want to increase international business.
• Corporate Business Manufacturers racing to offer better, faster Aircrafts.
• Companies can continue to make a profit.
• Continue the high safety standards for air travel which exist today given
current/projected increased volume and other special scenarios
• Improve private jet aircraft to best benefiting from fastest flight
6
Out Scooping
•Who is concerned?
FAA, Aircraft manufacturers and Insurance Companies
•Why are they concerned? Expensive
aircrafts owners and passengers travel cost
Maintenance of Airports able to host modern jets
Pollution of a pristine continent during refueling and “chemtrails”
•What are their concerns?
•What is the threshold of concern where change becomes unacceptable?
Difficulty in identifying adequate benefits and if safety is at risk and pollution
flying and using Antarctic airports and refueling at freezing polar temperatures.

Supersonic Jets
SonicStar 4.5M
•Futuristic SonicStar up to 20 people at speeds of 2740 mph, M 4.15 at 40000 ft.
•Mfg. HyperMach claims SonicStar will be 30% more efficient than Concorde.
•Hull and wings will be largely built from super lightweight composites or titanium.
•SonicStar’s propulsion new concept the S-MAGJET.
•A hybrid system in which a generator unit, provides electric energy used by highly
efficient propulsion fans.
•This totally new concept would result in 70% more operational efficiency and
significantly reduced carbon footprint chemtrail.
•In fact, you wouldn’t hear any supersonic boom from the ground.
•Such ground-breaking technology takes time have to wait another decade or more
11
Business Reality
•Supersonic aircrafts creates a sonic boom
•More major noise disturbance over close-by areas.
•Currently there's no cost-effective market for supersonic business Jets
•Need a lot more fuel, and are more noisy (including sonic booms)
•Appears that the increase in speed just doesn't compensate
disadvantages in the current aviation business climate.
•Present fastest designs now in use, are subsonic.
•Continue with present jets under present business conditions
• On an improving economy, acquire Mach 2 Jet Aircrafts.
12
Assumptions
•A few key factors that were not included for the virtual flight between
JFK and SYD were:
• Airports over the selected routes may increase over time
•Good weather conditions or use diversionary airport
• All pilots with in route experience
•Aircraft and pilots need to be capable of landing on grass, gravel, ice
or snow, as some are no paved runways
•Don't operate planes in blizzard conditions any were
•Out of 28 airport landing facilities and all 37 Antarctic stations have helipads.
•All flight data are Great Circle used only as a guide

Conclusion Best Route
•Flights at M4.5 now moves along the 75⁰ meridian circle path over the Pacific Ocean,
along the west side of the Andes flying over costal waters with short distance to land
At M2 Kts the flying time are about the same.
As we increase the speed flying hours are reduced as we approach M1 flying .9 M
with faster business executives jets in the market the polar route is the best route.
Polar routes offer the opportunity for SA Countries, Patagonia and Antarctic far away
population Reach Australia and the myriad of South Pacific islands.
Returning to LA and JFK round trip.
The use of these southern routes is overdue as present jets almost at M1
technology speed are available for more than one decade.
A disclosed air-refueling can allow for XLRange flights to reach oriental
countries.

after 1200 UTC (local midnight) on Friday,
29 November 1929.
TheFloyd Bennett and its crew flew over
the Earth’s South Pole then, the aircraft
headed back to Little America base at
1225 UTC.
Balchen landed the airplane to take on 200
gallons of fuel that had been pre-positioned
at the base of the Liv Glacier. TheFloyd
Bennett took-off again and landed back
at Little America around 21:10 UTC. Total
mission time was nearly 19 hours.
The Floyd Bennett (Ford S/N NX4542) flew the epic polar air journey.
All-metal aircraft with 50-ft in length and wing span of 76-ft.. Weight about 6,500 pounds.
Powered by a single 520-HP Wright Cyclone and a pair of 200-HP Wright Whirlwind radial engines
Crew pilot Brent Balchen, co-pilot Harold June, navigator American explorer Richard E. Byrd, and radio
operator Ashley McKinley.
Following departure from Little America at 02:39 UTC, headed for the South Pole via sun compass.
Myriad glaciers, massifs, plateaus, and crevasses marked the stark, rugged landscape unfolding under
flight path.
The most imposing were the Queen Maud Mountains that towered more than 11,000 feet above sea level.

ARA South Pole Flight, 1962
Douglas C-47
From Rio Gallegos 12/8/1961 three transports of unit UT-8 flew to a track semi-prep, the
Larsen ice barrier airfield, Jorge A. Campbell.
The two Douglas C-47, under Commander Hermes QUIJADA “anevizaron” traveling the
1500 Km flight at 8:17 pm, while the Douglas DC-4 returned to Rio Gallegos .
Then at 09:00 pm 12/26/1961 flew 1700 Km to Ellsworth Research Station.
On 01/06/1962 at 13:00 pm both took off from Ellsworth Douglas C-47 aircraft and flew
the 1350 miles that separated them from the U.S. base (Amundsen-Scott South Pole
Station), and “anevizaron” at 21:10 hours.
It was the first flight to the Geographic South Pole, with descent, made from the
Americas. The next day, the two aircraft started back.

FAA's policy letter Guidance for Polar Operations (3/5/2001
•
•
•
•
Special requirements for polar flight.
Two cold-weather suits, special communication capability.
Designation of arctic diversion airports and firm recovery plans for passengers.
Fuel freeze strategy and monitoring requirements
•
•
Jet fuel freeze temperatures range between -40 and -50 °C.
These temperatures are frequently encountered at cruise altitude throughout the
world with no effect since the fuel retains heat from lower elevations, but the intense
cold and extended duration of polar flights may cause fuel temperature to approach
its freezing point.
•
Modern long-distance airliners are equipped to alert flight crew when fuel
temperatures reach these levels. The crew must then change altitude, though in
some cases due to the low stratosphere over polar regions and its inversion
properties the air may actually be somewhat warmer at higher altitudes Slide 38

Super Long Range Polar Flight Fully Loaded With Aerial Refueling
• Business Jets flying in an FAA NextGen mode
• Air Refueling air stations on designated limited air spaces.
• Location near costal polar areas or costal airport diversionary facilities
• Presently max speed and range with reduced passengers count, extended
• as per aircraft manufacturer specifications and service maintenance requirements
• Aircraft manufactures need to install refueling coupling and provide adequate certifications
• Flying with Full Passenger’s seat count will increase revenues and competiveness
• Aircraft investors will benefit of faster ROI and will allow to reinvest in new Jets.
• In flight fuel cost will be the normal ground plus the added cost of the service
• Further fuel saving using with fuel from local oil wells refined at local facilities.
• Integration of air and ground services and oil industry.
• Ground financing as automotive gas station finance model
• A wealth of air refueling experience by Boeing and Embraer’s materialized in the Boeing
new KC-46 and Embraer KC-390 refueling s available before 2020.
